Deprecation notice: The website is being migrated to https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/master/website
Apache Beam website
This is the website for Apache Beam, hosted at:
https://beam.apache.org/
About this site
The Beam website is built using Jekyll. Additionally, for additional formatting capabilities, this website uses Twitter Bootstrap.
Repository Structure
This repository contains:
src/: the source of the site, including markdown files containing the bulk of the contentcontent/: html generated from the markdown (which is what is actually hosted on the website)
Development Workflow
Setup
You need Ruby version >= 2.2.0 to build the project.
Install Ruby Gems, a package management framework for Ruby.
Install Bundler, which we use to specify dependencies and ensure a consistent environment for building the website, even across multiple developers on different machines:
$ gem install bundler
Use Bundler to download the versions of each dependency specified in the website's Gemfile.lock,
including Jekyll:
$ bundle install --deployment
This will install a number of gems in a local ./vendor directory.
Active development
Launch Jekyll via Bundler in order to guarantee that the appropriate versions of the dependencies are used:
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
Jekyll will start a webserver on port 4000. As you make changes to the
content, Jekyll will rebuild it automatically. This is helpful if you want to see
how your changes will render in realtime.
In addition, check for dead links and the like by running the tests via:
$ bundle exec rake test
Running Jekyll may cause the content/ directory to be generated.
Merging autogenerated content can get tricky, so regenerating content is
responsibility of the committer doing the final merge of your PR, and
your PR should not contain changes to that directory.
Before sending the PR for review, please run:
$ git checkout -- content
Additional Information
Writing blog posts
Blog posts are created in the _posts directory.
If this is your first post, make sure to add yourself to _data\authors.yml.
While you a working on your post before the publishing time listed in its header,
add --future when running Jekyll in order to view your draft on your local copy of
the site.
Adding Jekyll plugins
If you modify the site to use additional Jekyll plugins, add them in Gemfile
and then run bundle update, which will regenerate the complete Gemfile.lock.
Make sure that the updated Gemfile.lock is included in your pull request. For more information,
see the Bundler documentation.
